Hi, Just bought a second car and parked on the street for the first time ever. When I woke up I found a ticket on the windshield for parking on a "highway" between 2:30am-6:00am. Looked up the "law" for this, and there was a snow bylaw passed, which is what this is supposed to be for. My question is, how can they ticket me for parking on a residential street, which they have labeled a "highway", which also has no signs posted anywhere on the street stating this restriction. On top of that, there has never been a snow vehicle come and clear our street between the hours stated on the ticket in the five years I've been there, so given it doesn't have any practical purpose for it's existence, is this yet another legal trick to generate revenue for the city? Thanks in advance.

Highway is the legal term for any roadway that can be used by the general public. In regards to signage, typically there are notices posted at the entrances of cities advising of no overnight parking, though I can't speak to Kitchener. I'd say laws like that are pretty common in most cities during the winter months.

Thanks for the clarification regarding the definition of a "highway", Stanton. You'll have to pardon my disbelief, but following the logic of all of this, the city could start passing new bylaws regarding where it is acceptable to park and when it is acceptable to park and the first time you find out about it will be via a $30 ticket on your car - no forewarning, no notification. If you would happen to protest, they could simply point to the bylaws that were posted on some website somewhere, which although you follow the city council meetings every week, this just happened to be passed at the one meeting you missed. Am I the only one that finds this absurd?

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
